The Album
Now & Forever was Wilde's final album before her transition to the musical Tommy, during which she released a remix of "Shame," a track recorded during the album sessions but not included on the album. "Now & Forever" is the ninth studio album by Kim Wilde, released in autumn 1995 through MCA Records. Lyrically, the songs range from uplifting tracks like "Sweet Inspiration" to more somber themes in "Now & Forever." Only two singles were released in the UK: "Breakin' Away" and "This I Swear," with the latter underperforming at No. 46.
Inside the Recording
Marking a shift from her earlier pop sound, Wilde embraced a soul/R&B style with the help of producer Ricky Wilde and collaborations with CJ Mackintosh and the Serious Rope team.
